Gamers Threaten MW3 Blackout on April 20th

Fed up with some of the outstanding issues still plaguing Modern Warfare 3, some gamers have started a movement to boycott the game on April 20th (at least they picked a day where they’d be…”busy”….doing something else).

If this sounds somewhat familiar it is because Battlefield 3 gamers threatened the same thing a few weeks ago. Their demands were small, however, and they were met prior to the blackout date.

With Modern Warfare 3, the demands are a bit larger, including some fixes for major things like lag, some new features, and quite a few weapon/perk balancing issues. We’re not really seeing how the blackout would hurt Activision that much as they already have the money that the players spent to buy the game (and their lead in gamers actually playing the game is probably large enough that it would stand even with everyone taking a day off), though I suppose it’s more about the message.

The full list of demands is below, as is a video advertising the blackout date. What do you think, will gamers actually follow through with the blackout (as gamers we’re all notorious for threatening boycotts and not following through), and if they do will it actually help? Sound off in the comments.

Lag Compensation

Matchmaking options which include the ability to enable disable local search and base search off the party leader when playing with friends

The broken Spawn System

Full featured Theater mode

Individual volume controls in the options menu

Tac insert removed from Kill confirmed

More Hardcore game modes

Better Elite playlist options

Objective stats on in-game scoreboard

Akimbo machine pistol nerf

Removal of any assault kill streaks from the support package

Removal of death streaks and Fix Local Area Network settings for Competitive events

I can’t believe the ridiculous prices for DLC aren’t mentioned in here. Wtf they expect everyone to spend a quarter of the games price on some half-assed maps and a couple spec ops missions I’ll play like twice? Hell no. I haven’t bought DLC since MW2.

chameleon12 April 20, 2012

This would be because many players purchased Elite Premium, and in doing so many of the players saved a lot of money. Well..maybe not a lot, but relatively speaking. Elite Premium plays a large part in the pricing of non-elite consumers purchasing map packs at the later scheduled dates, and paying more money.

ciaran April 10, 2012

i agree, why blackout for one day if our demands aren’t met we can stop playing it all together because if they dont fix the problems whats the point playing then. the next cod or modern warfare wont be bought because of fear of bugs and stuff. we should all move to battlefield it is so much better, i switched and haven’t looked back

the only ones there that matter really are spawn and lag, but sometimes its hard for a game this big to get rid of all lag and the spawing can go wrong sometimes. DEAL WITH IT STOP CRYING AND TRY TO ENJOY THE GAME

Nate April 10, 2012

A game “this big”?
Dude, Skyrim and Oblivion, Fallout 3 and new vegas, were humongous compared to this pile of half assery. They have not 1/10th of the problems this game does. Do you not understand that this game was rushed in development to meet the release date, and now that they have everyones money, they dont give a fuck? Its pathetic man. Also, the striker is fucking trash, they should nerf it back to mw2. Why did they up the range and damage on it? Fucking ridiculous. Im glad they are boycotting this game, I already have. I moved back to black ops, which isnt the greatest but fuckkk its 1100% better than this broken dream.

people wont follow through with this. i hardly play mw3 anyway. like you, im more of a skyrim fan, and a BIG fallout fanatic. most are weak, and will go crawling back. now the gamers on mw2 on this, those are real gamers.

zach hacklander April 22, 2012

Did you just say skyrim does not have as many bugs as mw3– then you are a true idiot skyrim may patch those problems but mw3 does not have backward flying dragons nor does it have any other of the exhorbitant amount of glitches skyrim has

lol laag issues are easily solved look at bf3 more players per lobby option of spending some money to host a server to be able to change options and have better connection, there official servers for each region so u can get ur best connection possible, it’s not the length of the game it’s the company they dont wonna spend a little more money out of how much they make to fix simple things, i love bf3 servers, never laged so less in any game on xbox live ever except for left dead series, because of low active players in one game, plus it’s not like rpg with like spells and stuff got does spell laag suck have to keep casting to get the server to catch up at times or u just freeze lol. but like i said man everythings prety easily solved they will think oh this is for the gamers or oh look at the money.

achmedfan21(ps3 id btw) April 18, 2012

thats because bf3 is way better

lol i got three dislikes for the trueth lol. amazing, so u guys are trying to tell me u laag on bf3 dedicated servers huh? bullshit. lol i bet the people who disliked barly even play. i had no life id stay up for 3 days streight playing sleep for a day do it all over agian for couple years. u notice the games problems when u play that much, most these dams games are noob friendly, why u think half the time after u kill some one people spawn so close, it’s for noobs to give them a chance to get back at the guy who killed u, half the time it dont work u just die agian if the other guys good enough, why u think u get spawn screwed so much, anothe rnoob friendly system is the death streaks lol they are there for noobs. but back to bf3 the servers are amazing barly any disconects mw3,mw2,black ops? so many disconects and error msgs from hackers pinging ur dam xbox or router lol, why? cause they try to use ur internet to host the sht. if dedicated servers were there wouldnt have them problems.

if all the gamers were talked to and told it honestly would have effect especially if every one began to find out instead of just one day make it more get ur point through. slowly more gamers would agree and take action, i mean im sure all of us have another copy or another game we could play for a while. honestly i was disapointed in mw3 they changed alot, like the forum says perks and certain things feel entirely different and are over powered or under powered, the bull shit that pops up is unbelievably worse then mw2, look at mw2 for example all the dam cheaters was an amazing game and were i really got into the series the glitches and hacks ruiened it so i moved to black ops, different company but a great game some laag issues alot but all in all great game just wish final stand would never of been invented shts anoying u suck if u need another life to kill some one when u should be dead -.-. but i honestly believe this whole thing would make them think i mean think about it enough black outs and if they try to sell another shty game all u have to do is get the gamers to band together and not buy it im sure they will listen to consumers more. they make there money b/c we buy it, they lose it if we dont buy it or play it they made alot selling mw3 but atleast u can make them pay for there company for a while dont play or buy there games easy as that, everything they do costs them money at some point atleast this way u get the satisfaction of making a point to others, it matters wat us gamers think, we buy ur shit !

Steve828(xbox360) April 18, 2012

Alright gamers… Now as aside from the “blackout” i agree there is some problems in which need to be fixed.. A “blackout” will not effect anything at all -__-. Considering majority of its fellow gamers in which mostly come from the United States and the United Kingdom over base the gamers online to 895,000 or more daily. Considering with this un-controllable number i doubt this could actually be successful. And well im sure Activision wont be effected especially from 1 day. Now with the elite gamers and also concluding the Gamebattles community’s im sure there will be lots of gamers online. Now should we honestly “boycott” Modern Warfare 3 because of some of the errors in which Activision is most likely currently working on or in fact already had a date for an up coming update? But i do in deed agree that Mw3 has some problems. But to be honest majority of these problems cant be fixed. And well i know one things forsure, all those problems that were listed are not or may never be added due to money and other projects that they must be conducting for Mw3 or future projects. Are we honestly going to complain for a game in which we didn’t make and we bought ourselves. If you have a problem with call of duty and there supposedly “lack of work” well then you don’t understand the time and work in which was actually put into this game…

TaylorDM April 19, 2012

It’s True that some of these things are annoying, but some things need to be stronger than others…. The game was made fine gun and perk wise. Although I do feel it is the game creators responsibility to try and stop the Lag and Spawn systems(Not meaning spawn us completly away from the enemy even if it means spawning us near objective making game unfair).
If This black out does happen it will do very little though. To many people love call of duty to just stop playing it all together. If this game was change to make perfectly equal across the boards then other call of duty games in the future will most likely be pressured to be made equal. This would make all the call of dutys feel like the same thing… Might as well just realease the new games as map packs. Keep the Game the way it is! You all need to grow up and notice the fact that this is a game and as a game play it the way its made or “supposed to be played.”

cody93 April 29, 2012

the only thing they need to do is get rid of akimbos for fmg9 and for those people who say “they have there ups and downs” bullshit because its the only Mpistol to shoot all the way across the map n kill people also can shoot through walls dunno whats up with that cause the mp7 doesnt even do that
P.S the striker isnt even overpowered USAS is way better moab offical

rage April 8, 2012

I AGREE WITH SOME LIKE LAG COMP AND AS A MEMBER AND LEADER OF A COMPETITIVE TEAM I AGREE WITH FIXING THE LAN A;SO I SAY GET RID OF THE STRIKER ITS OVER POWERED AND A NOOB WEAPON. TFC WILL BE ACTIVE IN THE BOYCOTT FOR THE REASONS I LISTED IF NEED BE WE WILL AMP THE BOYCOTT IN EVERY MEDIA ASPECT AND FOR X AMOUNT OF DAYS

sirdoom34 April 18, 2012

oliver April 8, 2012

They did not promis you any of the demades you requested. And it wasnot because they were ignoring you it was because they were/still busy im going to join the blackout, as i agree that they need to add “some” of the demands your asking.

no, it will not work as long as it plays they’ll be there they think it’ll scare activision and IW but it won’t the only time they make money the year is at launch and DLC so this won’t lose them money only wastes people’s time
give it up idiots

Failsauce stab and respawn locations need to be addressed: I stab a dude, and it’s a miss, although I’ll be able to see the whites in their eyes, and then respawn and get a headshot-buzzkill from the side.

These kids are being pussies because it isnt even a big deal the game is fine they need to just chill out and learn to not take a game less serious the only thing i would like is the theater thing but anything you all are being little pussies

Aaron April 9, 2012

Seeing as how they crank out a new game every year, I think these “pussies” are doing well to send IW and Activision a message that it is not okay. Its not okay to rush games through development and onto shelves as fast as possible. If they had taken even an extra 6 months most of this would be fixed. Infinity Ward used to rock, but now they are under the gun from their publisher Activision and the result is awful games.

Christian April 19, 2012

Your probaly one of those people who camp and use a fuckin striker that probaly why you aint mad. So if you would ever get “LEGIT” (which you probaly wont)then you would care about these things. And for only caring about the theator mode why woud you, itll probaly show 30 minutes of you campin in one spot for the whole game. So the point of this messager is get “LEGIT” and stop being trash

Sylexiel April 20, 2012

Honestly, I wonder how these people who are going to be able to succeed in changing Activison’s mind to fix some problems. There is a total of about 900,000 people who go online and play modern warfare daily by United States and United Kingdom alone. Unless you can prove that nearly a million people who play the game will sudden agree and not play the game. Remember Activision has your money. The only power you have to not buy the maps nor the games ever again. Then again, a mutli-million dollar company is not going to lose a lot of money because one person refuses to play the game.

Steve0isme April 8, 2012

Dude these would all make this game so much better. Spawns suck, no one likes the dual FMG9 noobs, which are SECONDARY WEAPONS and are the BEST GUNS IN THE GAME– ridiculous. I’d love the specific sound controls so the annoying music in the middle of games wouldnt interrupt a player (like what happened to my friend in search- he lost hearing of footsteps through music and died cuz of it…) Finally, fix those deathstreaks plllleeaaasse

Log605123 April 9, 2012

I am preeeeetttttyyyy sure that they said something like nerfing the FM69 on Thanksgiving. I wondered where did that go. I predict Activisin will most likely just say we will patch this and this, then they will just do half of what they promised and just feed us BS lies.

What the fuck is the problem with people talking trash about the Type 95? It is a fucking 3-round burst gun with virtually no recoil. So, if I personally meet you online on Xbox, I will demonish you with the Type 95. Yeah, I will agree it is somewhat overpowered but look at shotguns. Once they put damage on the shotguns, you pretty much fucked up. So someone please explain to me how the Type 95 is garbage.

andrewxcorefsu April 8, 2012

i agree to all of them but y dont you go for the real problem like ahh idk the people who make modded controllers thats the real problem the aim bot shit has got to go then only then will people be happy

Will Graham April 10, 2012

For real dude!!! Whatfun is it to play againist someone with aim assist and cheats? What fun woulod it even be to have cheats like they have. It isnt as bad now as it was a couple of weeks ag9o, but you can still tell. And the lagging problem is a big one. I use a wired connection now, which helped a lot, but there are still guys with conditioning cheats or something, because they are carrying m4s and sniper rifles and run circles around me when Im carrying a smg. Mega gay some times!!!

Joel April 8, 2012

I agree with most of these (some I don’t really care about, like hardcore game modes) but blackout day won’t have much effect. Also, the people who invented the event haven’t given much thought about what their priority is: stopping Activision, IW and Sledgehammer from making money, or making a different statement?

Sylexiel April 20, 2012

Ok, John I have a question for you. How many people get online and play modern warfare 3 daily from US and Great Britian alone? Nearly 900,000 people. That is too big of a number to go be stupid and support the pointless boycott. I hope you realized thata Activision has your money and I doubt that the boycott for ONE DAY will change a thing.

Sergio April 8, 2012

PeterIanStaker April 8, 2012

No mention of quickscoping or camping? those also suck and need to be addressed. When an entire enemy team camps it really takes all the fun out of the game. They also need to fix the physics system. Many times I have thrown a flashbang at an angle to a wall to bounce it around a corner and it has come straight back at me and flashed me, also when I have done this and it didn’t bounce back at me and I was well away from it and had the wall in the way it still flashed me.

sirdoom34 April 9, 2012

Hydrexo April 9, 2012

I know right? I tried quickscoping and its hard like many other things it takes practice and time. Camping? How do they expect them to fix that up? Like BF3 it said “Goodbye to campers!” Everyone camped in that game and it didn’t fix anything. XD

Collin C April 9, 2012

The L A G is horrible 9 matches out of 10 online…Also, the spawn points don’t really make any sense in most game types. One option they have to eliminate extreme and repetitive camping when not sniping in game types such as TDM is to have like a 10 second time limit for a player to be in a certain small radius and if they do not move they automatically die. Simple.
One day of boycotting may not deal much damage…but how many consumers/gamers have these companies lost so far due to lack of quality in a $60+ game in the long run? I know I’m certainly not happy with MW3 and I believe MW2 has been the best one yet…they hyped MW3 up like it was going to be so much better then it really is. Hope they step their game up or else you can consider me done with call of duty.
Oh yeah and one more thing, the HACKERS are a huge problem..with all that money these companies have, one would think they could come up with a way to rid of all these fools((say maybe having Admins like Counterstrike for PC?? Worked pretty well)who have nothing better to do than hack a game and/or controller and think they’re cool, meanwhile ruining everyone else’s experience. Hope everyone else has had a better experience than I. SMH

“quicscoper sucks” Idiot. April 10, 2012

Quickscoping isn’t for noobs, it irritates me when people say so. I mean the only argument I can see the light in is that it is un-realistic. But who plays COD for realism, I mean seriously.

Try quickscoping yourself, it’s way more difficult than usin any other weapon from the same range.

idiot who hates quickscoping LOL April 10, 2012

62

you actually make a really good point, other than hating quick scopers i cant stand when i hear someone using a sniper rifle like a bloody M16 lmao… i dont care if people quick scope what really pisses me off is when you kill some little kid that shouldnt be playing in the first place and they come back raging like a bitch and quick scope you… i have quickscoped before, i don’t like it i prefer to use a sniper rifle like it should be used…

Sylexiel April 20, 2012

People who complain about camping, you are just a plain idiot. I wonder who came up with the fact if someone stays in one place, it’s called camping. Camping is a tactic called guerilla warfare. Either get a history book or look up the purpose of guerilla warfare. I camp only if I have a sniper rifle in my hand. It is retarded as fuck to rush with a sniper rifle. If you do thid in a middle of the battlefield in real life, you will be dead in seconds.

Joestoesie April 8, 2012

I do agree with most demands as, for example, the spawns are really bad and some guns are truly overpowered… But I think these demands should be taken into account by the people making further CoD games. I don’t suppose it’s too great to change a game this drastically when everybody has fully got used to it!

Hannah April 8, 2012

As long as the spawns and audio settings get fixed, I’ll be pleased. The numerous amount of times I’ve either WATCHED someone spawn or been able to see myself die once before in a killcam is extremely obnoxious. I keep going back to blackops as well, since the audio options on my turtle beaches make the game so much more appealing. Fix this!

Str8 up, I think all these ppl with demands and complaints need to get a life and find other things to do besides sit in front of a tv and curse at a damn video game because they got shot or it was laggy! Stop whining, get a girlfriend and find something else to do with your hands! ITS A GAME! HAVE FUN! IF YOU WANNA BE SO SERIOUS ABOUT KILLING ENEMIES THEN JOIN THE SERVICE AND DO IT FOR REAL! AT LEAST YOU’LL ACTUALLY BE DOING THE COUNTRY SOME GOOD.

roksta April 15, 2012

No he is right, dont complain about the game if you enjoy it it lag isn’t the game its was the 4.11 sony update there eat shit, tac insertions in Kill confirmed REPORT THEM FOR BOOSTING doing a black out day isn’t gonna get shit done why do you think there are updates and patches they are already on the problems, and instead of making your demands to a guy who no longer works in the Call Of Duty franchise (robert Browling) try to suggest some things to furthur improve the next call of duty BO2 via twitter or something,…ok yeh have the blackout day if you all want to and in your free time follow david vonderhaart on twitter and try to improve the next COD game, it is NOT easy to make a game of that proportions and making patches and updates isn’t any easier so give some FUCKING CREDIT TO THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU THIS GAME AND STOP FUCKING BITCHING AROUND STOP MAKING DEMANDS YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANT, ask for what u want in the update not demand it, and some of your “demands” are not possible.

mannzxworld April 13, 2012

i hate people like you who says anyone who plays games doesn’t have a life or a girlfriend.. i play a lot, and pretty much everyday.. and i have a girlfriend… and believe me on this… girls don’t care if you play games as long as you don’t play when you should be hanging out with her.. but if your not with someone at the moment.. play as much as you want.. i wouldn’t expect you to kno much about that tho

ihatestrikernoobs April 8, 2012

the spawm system definitely needs fixed, it pisses me off when i respawn and 2 sec later someone else respawns around the corner and i am dead… definitely get rid off those strikers those noobs really piss me off. get rid of quickscoping too ffs, nobody quickscopes in war, kennedy was assassinated not quickscoped, these quickscopers are just making a good gun to use look shit and everyone hate snipers and make them branded quickscopers, i know as it happened to me before… just plain get rid of the support packages its a noobs way to win/get kills

Fail People April 8, 2012

You guys are retarded for demanding this most of the things your demanding to change is bullshit it’s what makes mw3 mw3 sure fix the lag but the rest is bull shit and are retarded i hope actavison strikes back and makes stuff worse for all you idiots go to battle field if you dont like it. also your black out or boy cott isnt gonna work for shit big deal if you get 200,000 people off theres still millions more online so your protest is pointless bullshit.

Nick April 9, 2012

To be honest, I think it will be effective. But only if they got enough people to do it. I’m not saying they will change anything, but it will DEFINATELY give them an idea of what us gamers want in the next game (in this case, Black Ops 2 is the next one). So, I am going to join in on this day. I like MW3, don’t get me wrong. But it certainly could of been made better. Now we can expect a better game on November 6th.

Craig April 9, 2012

If you spawn kill me 6 times you deserve a deadmans hand!! If you don’t like these things have them change it in the next one don’t hurt my gaming experience for the current game because you want to complain. I am sorry but I don’t have more than 4 consecutive hours to play this game a week let alone a day.

ShodowRealityX April 9, 2012

This will not work and some of the demands are kinda dumb one why remove death streaks if your pro enough you can deal with them to the laq is probably just your guy’s crap wal mart connection cause you can’t afford your own i have 0-minimal lag problems spawn fix understandable but some of the stuff is plain stupid to many complainers on games lately

Sylexiel April 20, 2012

People compain about things like tac insertion from kill confirmed. Really? I don’t know where you’re logic is it that statement. You basically telling Activision to band certain weapons or equipment from a game mode. What the fuck? That is the most idiotic thing I have ever seen on the problems list. That’s just like saying Activision says that you can’t use a sniper rifle on Search and Destroy.

Hydrexo April 9, 2012

Only the silly and foolish will follow this “Blackout” assault. If you really think I’m going to go with it then you’re wrong. Why would I sacrifice playing mw3 when its the only game I own? Yeah right. Also for the fact that Activision would just laugh at us for trying. They are rich and a huge company. I doubt anyone will follow this. Yes I agree that there are some stupid things in the game but what is this going to accomplish? Just a waste of time I think. But really if your going to complain you might as well get another game and move on.

LAzperdon April 9, 2012

meliwinks April 9, 2012

Uhhhh, hitmarkers? We have had countless patches, and they’ve gotten (a bit) better, but they are still total crap. And how about making some maps where I can ACTUALLY climb on the stuff I should really be able to climb on. I’m sorry, but if I can jump onto a pallet full of junk in Hardhat, theoretically I should be able to jump onto the EXACT SAME PALLET OF JUNK in overwatch. Wth?

leo April 9, 2012

I feel like a lot of people want to complain about the game but its the community you have to blame. I aggree that there are problems with the game but the experience is mainly bad because of how people use these options. I blame the players, not entirely the game.

ShadyStunna336 April 9, 2012

I agree with the lag and spawn issues,other things seem like a stretch. But as far as to take the tac insert out of a game mode b/c of K.C.is ridiculous.i was 7th in the world and was pushed back to 23 in a matter of 4 days, i’m not mad play how you play. i would like them to change both red and gold tags to be the same amount of points though but i wont go hang myself if they don’t. ido like the community aspect of this as well i agree with some of the responses if you dont like it… go to Battlefield. Noobs will be noobs !!! games every type will have a fall back

DrPhilter April 9, 2012

Here’s a whacky idea. While I support your video, and I won’t be playing April 20th or 19th… because I got rid of the game ASAP back in November, but instead how bout… don’t buy anymore Call of Duty games? I know I think the holiday season might just explode if a COD game sold under a bagillion units for once, but maybe that would send a message? No? I mean come on why the hell should Activsion care? they have your cash obviously. Or buy the game used from gamestop, I mean that would work as well, but really guys. Stop buying a game that is built on something that is broken and then complaining that it is broken. I mean the things you are asking for are reasonable! But they are the type of things that should have been included day one. Instead of the BS “additions” they did actually make. So while I support the movement because I think Activision is the devil… I blame you and I for feeding the frenzy.

EmberWishes April 9, 2012

Things that are game based like spawning and matchmaking need fixing. The team matchmaking needs to take into consideration the rank, kd and performance in the previous game of each player, to stop teams being constantly made up of the best players.
Regarding the last two terms, I cannot disagree more. In game problems like those are a matter of opinion, and better players obviously asked for those two. They dont lke being killed by Martyrdom when they are winning, and thats the only reason they don’t like it. Not all players are good enough to use assault killstreaks and these demands are purely player preference. I want the choice of getting a lesser quality assault reward in the support killstreaks. I hope Activision sorts out spawning, game and team matchmaking,, and punishment for quitters.

Mocro April 9, 2012

the only thing needing serious change is the crappy ‘get spawned next to eachother’ crap, specially in OIC and the lag problem.
in ffa gunplay mode, please put a block on getting merged into a OIC game that already started. i go in the lobby to play a game, not ‘spectate’it. f5ck2ng anoying.
besides that, maybe a wager match menu like in blackops for the ffa gun games. i don’t wanna play 3×6, 18 G’s or OIC, i want to play AoN only. if i am too late quiting the lobby and the game starts and 3 ducks quit, the match is immidiatly fuickod. if ya seperate them individualy less people leave th egames, more full matches, more fun, everybody happy.
last thing, i got Elite, i downloaded DLC 1&2 (PS3) but they don’t work on my system. apperantly the file is damaged or it just don’t work. help for contact in anyway to solve this problem has not come up. WHERE do i have go to FIX THIS BULLSH*t????
ty kindly

TwoCent187 April 9, 2012

what a bunch of homo retards, screw them idiots, i pay for a premium account and on april 12, 2012 black box will be out on PS3 for premium players, so thats what i’ll be doing on the 20th, let them dumb asses smoke their pot, it’s prolly the real reason for the blackout any way, an excuse not to have to explain why they wasn’t online, homos, besides quitters never get any where in life, homo quitters!!!

iceman7 April 9, 2012

You guys are pathetic. If you have a problem with the game then don’t play it,don’t be a 4 year old and cry about it because you don’t have anything better to do. I haven’t touched this game since December yes it sucks but I really don’t care planning on selling my game anyway doesn’t bother me at all

SKi0NiC NATi0N April 9, 2012

(6) Tactical insertion just needs to be removed altogether. I never use it and I hardly ever see anyone else use it. It’s likely the source of the (3) spawn problems.

Anyone being taken down repeatedly by the (10) akimbo machine pistols/other guns will ask for them to be nerfed, then the weapons they use they want buffed.

I would like to play Domination/CTF/etc. and be able to see my or other people’s (9) ob stats.

If you had a (11) removal of any assault killstreaks from the support package, you’d only have the UAV/CUAV, ballistic vests, recon drone, EMP, and MAYBE the Juggernaut Recon left. That makes for a pretty crappy package if you suck (like me).

I think this list is being demanded by 12 year olds, new players, and trolls. I mean, are you going to see a gamer like someone from a large clan complain?

I think something else that they should consider putting into an a patch is taking dead mans hand an marty dom from kill confirmed. Its a big pain when the games are close an you got to pick up a tag an some noob has marty dom an you die. That with the other fixes that were mentioned above would make the game so much better. The amount of players i think would for sure increase. Just a little food for thought!

Dubstep[Bro] April 9, 2012

…..See now this is stupid cuz way i see it, MW3 is just fine, Well now im making a movement, Screw the Community!!! they only want these to pick on Lesser players who just want to have fun, Be the ones To Actually Play on April 20th, 2012. Don’t give power to the players with only the skills, give power to ALL THE PLAYERS.

Tommy April 9, 2012

Your all fucking faggots if your pissed about something in the game that someone else is doing to you then do it your self to them its equally fair unlees they have mods its fair so shut up play the game and dont be a pussy because you suck. Sure theere are a few things they could do to make it better like mosh pit, dolphin diveing, reticle colors, yeah the lag and spawn i guess the theater, and the in game music wich is pretty gay, and objective stats and swich a few kill streaks, add hard core shit for fags that play hard core i mean theres alot of shit actually but still dont get pissed about guns and perks and death streaks because you can use them your self

nedac April 9, 2012

Who cares about fmg9s.. they honestly arnt bad. Lower the fire rate and they are fine. I agree with the sound. Lag compensation ? They put that in and that’s why you get killed even though you shot them. It compensates another players crapp connection and screws you over. I also think you should be able to pick from a set of spawn areas. Each team has a set. If you chose your own and you die, your fault, right? Of course, if enemies were in your spawn, you’d get a different set. There could be 3-6 sets per map.

Todd April 9, 2012

Why not stop playing for the entire weekend? Or longer? One day may not really be enough to impact the community because others will still play. I want you guys to succeed. I wasted $170 just to play this (MW3, Xbox Live and Cod Elite) and haven’t played in months. It’s horrible.

Best of luck and !#@& YOU Activision/Infinity Ward!

eliza April 9, 2012

you would figure that they would be willing to fix the problems in their games even if they already got the money they wanted. isnt that the point of owning a business? making money? well why not fix your mistakes and make it an even better games and make more money?
Im just saying. more then likely they wont do anything about it

some of demands it’s stupid.
and should remove some demands like Removal of any assault kill streaks from the support package and
Removal of death streaks and Fix Local Area Network settings for Competitive events
that’s not important, most talk about 1-care about PC players. and 2-do demo for DLC before buy it because they make stupid maps sometime we not found money in tree. 3-fix win streak when they start match already finish, they lose win streak.

Dave April 9, 2012

Anonymous April 9, 2012

The demands ( especially the akimbo pistols one) seems like they are for tryhards who rage quit whenever they die. Now dont get me wrong some of them are good like the broken spawn system. But really the lag? Whenever i play Modern Warfare 3 I never have lag so that must be there internet or they get into games with people who rage quit. But thats just my opinion if you dont like it than stop reading it. Goodbye.

you guys are fags get a life April 9, 2012

so i just got to say you guys are fuckin lame if all your gonna do is sit on your fat lazy asses and bitch like a little girl about a fuckin video game how patheic grow up and get a fuckin life insted of being a fat lazy ass bum and game all day fuckin losers!!!

Sylexiel April 21, 2012

Understand this. Even though I don’t support the boycott, how are you going to call everyone a faggot and get a life? You seems to be a lazy ass because you sit in front of a computer all day and comment and complain about a video game. If you don’t like it, well then get the hell of this website.

Stop vile cowards sending vile msgs to people who just want to play the game for enjoyment, everytime i smoke a player a couple of times in a match, they send me vile cowardly, racist, hatefilled msgs, why? it is all swings and roundabouts, one game you might get a high kill ratio, the next you get smoked evrytime you move, any1 who takes this game seriously and send people vile msgs should be blacklisted by xbox, but that will never happen will it microsoft.

Tim April 9, 2012

There are only 2 good demands.. the broken spawn system and lag comp. all the others are nonsense reasons, the death streaks and strikers are in the game for a reason now stop complaining and play the game.. this is nothing to make an event over it

the only legit demands are Removal of any assault kill streaks from the support package
Objective stats on in-game scoreboard
Akimbo machine pistol nerf
The broken Spawn System
Full featured Theater mode
Individual volume controls in the options menu
Tac insert removed from Kill confirmed
Lag Compensation
other than that don’t moan, there is always one game with nothing wrong it’s not cod nor BF or halo it’s called pokemon no complaints no one ever hates it no matter how old SO QUIT YOUR BITCHING

Chris April 9, 2012

nerdmurker007 April 9, 2012

You guys need to add “fixing the faulty melee system” to your list of demands. I went to knife this sniper the other day and it literally spun me around. i ended up facing the other direction and he killed me!!!!

Josh April 9, 2012

Lag Compensation- yeah could do with a fix
The broken Spawn System- yes fix them.
full featured Theater mode- doesn’t bother me, but go for it.
Individual volume controls in the options menu- would help me turn off the 30 second music in search to hear the bomb…
Tac insert removed from Kill confirmed- doesn’t need to be, just needs to be a system to find who gets their own tags a certain amount of times a match
More Hardcore game modes- sure, why not add variety?
Better Elite playlist options- sure.
Objective stats on in-game scoreboard- would help to see why that person is a high rank on leaderboards other than kills
Akimbo machine pistol nerf- they’re fine, go cry. the fmg’s received a huge rate of fire nerf.
Removal of any assault kill streaks from the support package- maybe just make the stealth bomber cover less range on the map.
Removal of death streaks- maybe nerf the stupid ones like dead man’s hand’s unpredictable range? Sometimes you survive a point blank explosion, other times, being miles away from the person kills you.
* a good fix for final stand or all death streaks in general is to let them have the deathstreak if they still haven’t gotten a comeback that life, but if they somehow find a way to get a kill, they should not get their death streak.

Fix Local Area Network settings for Competitive events- idk.

ccaraway1002 April 15, 2012

realgammer_yall April 9, 2012

Some of the demands are REASONABLE and only that. I SUCK mega ballz but i still have fun. Spawn does seem like its broken and lag would be good for slower connections but thats the connection. All the others are COMPLETE AND UTTER nonsense that Activision and IW will laugh at.

Stephen April 9, 2012

shmevan April 9, 2012

SkiDaBird April 10, 2012

Some of it I agree with. Deathstreaks need the nonlethals to be amped up, but not removed. The spawn system and lag fixes aren’t going to happen on MW3 but this may persuade them to change it in the next game. Balancing weapons needs to happen, and the Stealth Bomber should be moved to assault, but an objective airstrike (an airstrike availible to be called in only on objectives, not anywhere) should take its place. And I suppose CoD4 is a good game for that day.

yea i dont think any of the stuff is gonna happen. alot of it is ridiculous to even ask for. no tac insert in kill confirm. lol. thats like saying i want them to take extreme conditioning out of cap the flag.

Randy April 10, 2012

stealthops_93 April 10, 2012

lol this is actually funny only losers/ noobs react like this the game is fine ok there are problems with the spawn system but not every game is perfect look at fifa for example fifa 11 was awsome but fifa 12 sucks totally + they’re just to pissed off they’re not good in the game trololol xD

ging12345 April 15, 2012

your nME April 10, 2012

keep dying to get deadmans hand and then 5 seconds from end of game just dashboard. Next game, find a corner and spam it with a noob tuber. Call in loads of stealth bombers and be the GOD of COD.
OR
Do what the rest of the sane players do and play BLACK OPS. Hail Treyarch

note to activision – games are supposed to get better not worse. Dont feck up Black Ops 2

Fr24 April 10, 2012

This lil stoke thing is stupid.
The creator’s had to dum the game down for all the stupid people tht play the game. Yall forget this is about money. If you wants problems with a game go play battle field3. Then come back to MW3. Then tell us how Yu feel about this game.

BlackRaven April 10, 2012

It’s a great idea, but i feel, pointless, as IW and Activision will pay no attention at all, most of the demands are great i’ve lost count of the amount of times i’ve been killed, respawned only to be right next to someone who then kills me again…boring….i gave up playing for a long time and have just come back, i very much doubt this will work but i will be taking part in the hopes that it does.

ChaoticChord April 10, 2012

While I can agree with most of the things in the boycott list, I must say I have a problem with the “support killstreak” complaint. While the assault killstreaks, which I assume is referring to think like Stealth Bombers, possibly Juggernaut Recon, etc.. may be something some players find annoying, it doesn’t truly reflect the community as a whole. AND.. these killstreaks are put into place for players that have a hard time getting Assault streaks. These players may still be high KD, often high kill low death gamers, but may end rounds with 20-4 or 20-5 kds. I think taking away some of the killstreaks would only serve to decrease the number of players who make MW3 a constant in their game time, and would hurt the franchise overall.

However, that being said, I do think the spawn trapping, deathstreaks (dead mans hand), Objective stats on scoreboard (plants, defuses, captures, defends, etc), and the nerf of the machine pistols (FMG in particular) are all excellent ideas and I would like to see them released. I also feel that tac insertion should be removed entirely from the game, as it allows players who glitch to continue to spawn inside those glitches (on top of the Dome) and frankly is extremely unrealistic.

I also feel that the hardcore mode complaint can be taken too far. The removal of Core Mosh Pit is one of the largest complaints I have had in a CoD game. If they do add more HxC modes, they should have their own Playlist section, and none of the current game modes should be taken out to make room, simply add more servers or leave it alone…

asjfldasjf April 10, 2012

its not really bout not playing for one day. its about getting the message across that all or sum of these demands NEED to be fixed. the fact that activision or IW doesnt care shows what kind of company they are. as for me not playing though. im not going to because ill most likely wont be home to not play it.

Sophia April 10, 2012

Lag Compensation – Try getting better connection then your Goodwill internet.
Matchmaking options which include the ability to enable disable local search and base search off the party leader when playing with friends – Sure.
The broken Spawn System – Yeah I kinda agree that the spawn system is alittle messed up. But come on people, it’s not that hard to figure out how it works.
Full featured Theater mode – I don’t really care about this one but sure.
Individual volume controls in the options menu – That would be nice.
Tac insert removed from Kill confirmed – I never really liked tac-Inserts since MW2. Doubt it will happen.
More Hardcore game modes – Sure
Better Elite playlist options – Sure
Objective stats on in-game scoreboard – This would be nice..but I think it would make the scoreboard alittle too wide..
Akimbo machine pistol nerf – Seriously? Go cry about it some more, if you really can’t deal with being killed by FMG9s than maybe you should go play a different game.
Removal of any assault kill streaks from the support package – Cry more about it. Reason why they made the support packages was for players who weren’t really good at the game. So one or two assault kill streaks in the support package aren’t going to screw you over.
Removal of death streaks and Fix Local Area Network settings for Competitive events – Removal of deathstreaks? It’s like making the noobs even noobier. I say keep them, but maybe make deadman hand’s blast radius alittle smaller at least.

With all that being said, I don’t think MW3 is a perfect game. There is no such thing, every game has it’s flaw. People who are like “nerf this” or “change that” are closed minded people who takes MW3 too seriously. Just relax and enjoy the game, it’s only a game after all. If you don’t like it, move on to a different game. I won’t be joining the blackout/boycott, because I personally think its ridiculous. :/

This is retarded and weak. These are your complaints? Not a single complaint on lag switches, and the long overdue broken QUICK SCOPING??? Where’s the skill in auto-aiming with sniper rifles? People are complaining about the spawning system when it’s way better than MW2s system? The is NO perfect spawning system! it doesn’t exist! You can only improve based on the maps. Now a better theater mode for elite pro members only is a good idea. So that we can record and post full length matches. Lag compensation is a good one. No deathstreaks? That’s the noobs best friend. Why would you take that away from the needy?? These complaints came from a bunch of weaklings!! I don’t see a complaint on the fact that shot guns are stronger fired from the hip than ADS smh.

Minh April 10, 2012

Your Name…Hippygod April 10, 2012

Lag need fixing elite playlist needs all maps not just new ones and they need to stop putting the same map on if you just played it and they need to keep with what was said when elite came out that every elite user would get the maps at the same time not stitch us up by making us wait

SpideyRules April 10, 2012

0.0 April 10, 2012

this guy April 10, 2012

I agree with some people the blackout won’t work at all what you guys really need to do is stop buying their DLC’S cause that’s where most of their money is coming from. Stop buying DLC’S=hurting their money raise
C’mon I know you guys are smart

Your Name… April 10, 2012

Why the hell arent you guys talking about the lag? The lag is the problem!!!!! If you guys are on here and lag isnt a problem for you then you can kiss my #*@ cause you broke connection havin ass fools are the reason this game is so fucked up!

Your Name… April 11, 2012

Yo powerslave I bet if I told you to bend over you would huh? Its the fact that these people are making millions of a broken game and it is unecceptable!! STFU an keep bein everybodys bitch! And that being said it all has nothing to do with going outside you idiot!

Matt Williams April 11, 2012

Compensation lag is the most RIDICULOUS concept bought into gaming and not being able to pick local on top of it are to major f#@$ ups made with this game. How the hell can they expect players to stick with the game when they clearly don’t want to listen to the feedback given. .3 – 2secs lag is something i’m dealing with EVERY TIME i jump online which just makes the game totally unplayable and to have to pay $90 + for that is an absolute f#$@%ng disgrace !

Spoticas April 11, 2012

Kitty April 11, 2012

That is a pretty good idea. But some of the demands are stupid. Like no tac insertions on KC or No Death streaks? I do like the idea of more Hardcore game modes and the Lag Compensation. But it’s not just the servers, It also depends on your internet too. They also need to fix the range on some of the shotguns. They have way too much range. (In my opinion)

Emilio G April 13, 2012

So i’m guessing that people want these “fix’s” to happen because they are mad because of how people take advantage of what the game has to offer, people need to learn to use what you’ve got and make the best of it instead of crying about it

Im playin April 13, 2012

Im gonna play that day, Im gonna celebrate 4/20 and get on when all the cheaters are off! sure things need to be fixed but you really think not playing for one day is gonna change there minds about the millions they made? Get real ppl! These ppl are idiots! The ppl bitching are probably cheaters to begin with, you get killed, go find the guy and kill him, if you arent good enough, quit playing!

Just saying April 13, 2012

A lot of you complain about camping but that is just a game style learn to beat the camper. Not everyone loves the run and gun. The spawn points are a problem nothing worse then you spawning and the bad guy spawns right behind you 2 seconds later. I say bring back FF for hardcore but make it if you FF 3 times in a round you are kicked from the game and lose your bonus points plus a penalty. That would also cut down on the dead man’s hand and marty because taking out a team mate would count too. Keep the range on the shotguns but lessen their damage/strength just like in real life. Of course you are always going to have the idiot who is going to try to exploit something or mess it up for others enjoyment. There should be way you can pick the map you want to play

OffTheChartsGaming April 13, 2012

All if these problems have been going on since cod5, which remind me/us to take better care of the old servers and games,i mean, theyrall dying, and cod 6 would be nice with no glitches, cause theatres the best one. Just because your big doesn’t mean little things aren’t a problem cod! >:(

Hiepsibatdacdi April 13, 2012

Tweek001 April 13, 2012

Kinda agree with the first three demands but theres a lot more important issues to be fixed than tweaks and removals like enforcing the bans against cheating and boosting and such also getting the elite console app working to its full spec . FIX THE GAME BEFORE YOU CRY ABOUT PETTY STUFF

Arznick April 13, 2012

I honestly think that the boycott will change nothing. People have a tendency to explain how something will be done in order to cause change but then the minority of people who say they were going to do it do not follow through. Any people who boycott on April 20th will return a few days after at max. Even if there was a boycott, it would not matter to Activision. It is a large company making plenty of money off what it has. Gaming companies do not care for the gamers, they care for the money. It is not about what the public wants, only big problems get fixed for this reason. People would not want to purchase a game with huge glitches, but who cares about the smaller ones? So, any minor thing that players want changed will not be changed and Modern Warfare 3 will continue to be a popular game.

D8Blitzkrieg April 13, 2012

I agree and disagree with a lot of opinions here. Honestly, I’d love to believe that anyone up there will care simply because some of these are issues that have been around since the game was first released. I loved the first two installments, two of my favorite shooters of all time (until Infinity Ward crumbled and the MW2 was plagued with hacks and other issues for a very LONG time). That being said, I feel like they’ve completely dropped the ball with this one. The ONE thing that I feel was an improvement to Black Ops (Yes I know that they’re not the same franchise, however since BO came after MW2 and I wound up playing it more while MW2 was down) was the sound effects. The guns and everything sound amazing. That’s it though. The maps are crap, some weapons are ridiculously over-powered, and the lag issue is disgusting. I too have switched over to Battlefield and while I will not speak for anyone but myself, I can say that it has been a much better experience. The graphics are superb, the gameplay itself is fun, and it’s a completely different beast in terms of strategy. I am not saying that BF3 isn’t without its faults, but at least the developers there make strides to correct their problems. I may be restating a lot of what’s been said but I feel like I had to get my opinion out there as well. Good luck to all those that hope for change, I wish I could be optimistic about it…but as it stands: they haven’t shown that they’ve given a damn so far, why start now? Let me know if anything changes.

Hey everyone… April 14, 2012

The complaints in the video are valid, but I don’t think a 24-hour blackout will make any difference. They already have our money and they’re probably already working on MW4.

There is only one thing that will get their attention. Do not buy BO2! The lag problems are a result of the Peer to Peer networking system that they use on COD games. Dedicated Servers would give us a much more enjoyable experience. Although, I don’t think Activision will ever spend the money on them until we make it clear that we’re ready to move on to another game.

Ranger75th911 April 14, 2012

Boycott by not buying their games. They already have your money so they don’t care. I hated this game other then Spec Ops and survival. I sold out and never cc again will I buy a Activision “military simulation” because the game is not a simulation but rather a cheap excuse to run around with no real tactics. You don’t do that in real life or you end up dead quick. Besides if you want to camp go ahead, I’ll come back and stick a 40mm grenade up your ass.

ssky007 April 14, 2012

I’ll be playing on 4/20/2012. Activision will never be able to fix the lag issues as long as you got someone on some crappy internet connection trying to play with everyone else. I think that lag compensation in screwing over the host is the worst thing they have come up with. It used to be an advantage to be host. I have really good internet and now routinely get screwed for being host. Also I wish the console game had as much control over it as the PC version. The sound issue is huge. I really don’t need to listen to the bull s*** sound clip when my gun/I level up, first 20 levels you can’t hear s***.

bitchkiller April 14, 2012

jordan April 15, 2012

i agree with tac insertion, more hardcore game modes,volume controls, more guns and perks, and i think there should be a movie creator to record game matches online and then if it a good match u can save it.

XxKeViNcRuLz98xX April 15, 2012

Tower April 15, 2012

I stopped playing months ago, for some of those reasons, and some others. I prefer Black Ops anyway. While I admit there are a lot of issues with that game (as there is with every game) the gaming community seriously has a lot to bitch about. Come on, in a few months you’ll have a new COD to play with, and probably complain about. But how long has this game been out? 6 months? And you’re choosing now to complain and demand changes?

commando8426 April 15, 2012

Also to add on 1 thing, I was watching a interview of Robert Bowling a while back before mw3 came out and the reporter asked Will there be quickscoping lobbys? Robert said yes and i was exicted to buy the game for it and NO QUICKSCOPING LOBBYS they promised they would have that and look there are non. people who want to quickscope want to have fun instead of being run down by a MP7 or FMG9S so would you also add that to your list

Hydrexo April 15, 2012

exactly. These people who can create games put their time and effort into making them for us. Hey just be happy they dont decide to create a paid subscription to play online. besides the point. If your so unhappy with it. CREATE your own game and see how EASY it is. Stop complaining, move on then, play another game like Call Of Duty 3 it has no issues for online playing

Sylexiel April 21, 2012

I know right. People can’t be thankful for it. I feel that CoD franchise is being “rushed” in a sense. If they have more time, then I guarnteed that more than half of these problems that it does. People just need to under stand that making a perfect game is impossible. Like Hydrexo said, we should put them to the test to see how “easy” it is for them. Us playing video games isn’t a right, it is a privilege.

Yall are just being emo pussies. Get the fuck over it. It’s just a fucken game. Fuck. Wait, I forgot, some of you consider this your entire life so much to cause a big dramatic issue. You belong in the kitchen cooking instead of a woman.

I’m going away for 3 days away from ps3 for a spiritual retreat. Starting april 19th and I won’t be even home till the 21st. -__-’ but i know nothing will happen….

Da_Fahzha April 15, 2012

It would appear that while Activision may have released the game ahead of schedule, with some bugs, balance problems, and whatever else you’re all whining about…

You have already PAID FOR THE GAME. Activision has your money. NOT playing on the 20th will only free up server space for those of us who ENJOY the game. You have the privilege of purchasing a different game, melting your disk, playing another game, or maybe reading a book. It’s a game! Move on.

Gerbel King April 16, 2012

swaypaya April 16, 2012

I dont think tac insertion should be take out but i think the biggest issue is that i hate assassin pro! its so unfair. It blocks out everything. every perk should have some sort of weakness to it. and they should keep akimbo it helps but it would be fair to lower its strength a little but i think it should still be available. And the MP7 needs to be fixed its too overpowered

Derp man pro April 16, 2012

Basshero77 April 16, 2012

This game needs balance more than anything. People should be able to use the weapons and equipment they like. But whats the point of even using the MP5, P90, PM9, or even the UMP45 when the MP7 is the most overpowered gun Call of Duty has ever seen. The same goes for the Striker and the ACR. As for quickscopers, You’ve never been and never will be cool. Your auto-aim takes no actual aiming skill. You simply pull the trigger and get your quick, cheap kills. All that aside lag compensation is also a huge issue. Most of these issues are a concern to the CoD community and must be dealt with.

Midwestmunk85 April 16, 2012

The game has some issues and I tolerate them. Perhaps, in the next Modern Warfare game, the creators will take some of your complaints into consideration. I enjoy this game. I will be playing on the 20th and it will be a day without campers and k/d ratio players. Don’t like the game? Play something else. It’s that simple.

Cpt_happy April 17, 2012

Issue: Final Stand. On their way to the ground you can be shooting the he’ll out of them but the bullets do not count until they are fully set in Final Stand. I end up dying because in my mind knowing how many bullets I just shot, the guy should have been dead and I turned thinking he was dead. Haha.

ScopedFrost April 18, 2012

i honestly would love to see these fixes, but i know that they wont do anything about this friday, but if i knew that they would, which they wont, i would go for the hitmarks and not nerfing snipers, but buffing them

docholliday April 18, 2012

Master Geebes April 18, 2012

I can agree that some of these problems are annoying, but I don’t feel everybody needs to do a Blackout. I guess it will have some sort of a “message,” but isn’t the reason you are doing it because they don’t listen to your messages? Also, with the video above, this guy is doing great in KC, and he’s one of those assholes who doesn’t pick up the tags after he kills people. I hate those kind of people. Grrrr.

Steve828_Onxbox360 April 18, 2012

Alright gamers… Now as aside from the “blackout” i agree there is some problems in which need to be fixed.. A “blackout” will not effect anything at all -__-. Considering majority of its fellow gamers in which mostly come from the United States and the United Kingdom over base the gamers online to 895,000 or more daily. Considering with this un-controllable number i doubt this could actually be successful. And well im sure Activision wont be effected especially from 1 day. Now with the elite gamers and also concluding the Gamebattles community’s im sure there will be lots of gamers online. Now should we honestly “boycott” Modern Warfare 3 because of some of the errors in which Activision is most likely currently working on or in fact already had a date for an up coming update? But i do in deed agree that Mw3 has some problems. But to be honest majority of these problems cant be fixed. And well i know one things forsure, all those problems that were listed are not or may never be added due to money and other projects that they must be conducting for Mw3 or future projects. Are we honestly going to complain for a game in which we didn’t make and we bought ourselves. If you have a problem with call of duty and there supposedly “lack of work” well then you don’t understand the time and work in which was actually put into this game…

JACK April 18, 2012

Black ops king April 18, 2012

ye should really stop bitchin like who really gives a fuck mw3 is shit everything about it is shit ye wanna rally for something make it for another black ops to be made quicker or better yet leave Activision alone to do there job they dont give 2 fucks about wat ye think as long as they already have yer money

Dj tomas April 18, 2012

FuZe SWISH3ZZ April 18, 2012

Stop raging God all you are doing with the black out is basically makin all the no life 40 and still livin in their moms house a**holes leave so me and my friends can enjoy and PLAY THE GAME THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED (Big Emphasis on that)

PC-Player April 18, 2012

What about the difference in content and dlc? On PC i have to wait forever to get new stuff out, while Elite players get showered in all kinds of stuff… Are WE (PC players) not that interesting, or important?

I don’t think it is any kind of fair that you get more from buying a game for a “Non-First-Person-Shooter-Friendly” console. As i see it, to get the responsiveness and action-packed play style, you need the mouse. Besides the point.

Come on, There is still a PC version of this game…

Okay, but how do you know they will meet these commands? How do you just know? How do you know they CARE? People are gonna be playing anyway, and I think the game is fine. It doesn’t have to be freakin perfect. YOU CAN SEE ME ON MW3 GAMERS!!

No Deathstreaks? They’ve always had them and what makes you think they’ll be gone now. I love MW3. Yeah, I don’t agree with some things. But, to boycott the whole game cause you blame you Kill/Death on these; it’s pretty ridiculous.

This thing does have some excellent points xD
They do already have our money, so why would they care?
The only thing it’s really preventing? More people from buying premium-which most of the serious players usually already have (also coincidentally probably would be the majority of the audience launching this attack).
Really, who cares, everyone will find something to complain about even if everything DOES get fixed. And once they fix this stuff, more problems may arise.
I can deff say I won’t be skipping tomorrow intentionally lolz
It’s minor stuff that you don’t always see people trying ALL the time anyway, just occasional issues (Not that I enjoy them myself, but seriously, there’s gonna be problems, and most of the time-gamers just wanna blame the fact they got beaten by a bunch of kids or something on the game).
I guess good luck to those of you that try the blackout-just know probably at least 1/4 to 1/2 of those that say they will-WON’T. :3 For the sake of when some of those problems actually DO occur, if it actually has any kind of impact xP -hopefully everything will get fixed.
I’m not holding my breath though ;3

truthfully i dont give a shit about any of those things and i still love the game because people may be dying a lot by such things it doesnt matter or they want mw3 look like another game. sometimes people need to get over what the game is doing. tac inertion is and always have been part of the game and because some one decided to just use it to level faster? no one cares and akimbo weapons dont need to be nurfed maybe just adjusted just like the model in mw2

Brandon April 20, 2012

Thats what I am saying. They made the game. They need to fix it. I am not playing tomorrow either. Seriously, I am addicted to that game but I dont have fun playing it anymore. Seriously quit working on bitch map packs every month and try to make the game more interesting! Like seriously. Put in like some kind of pre game lobby chating section or something with text idk DO SOMETHING

Your kidding right? Have you not done the math? 49.99 isn’t that bad really seeing when 20 load outs will be coming out 1-20 pieces. Imagine having to pay 20 bucks a pop per DLC? We’re talking more then a mere 49.99 your looking at without premium… having to pay hundreds because no DLC for mw3 will ever be 10 bucks they’ll always want 20 or more. add up. for every 20 drops for DLC is more money to download on PSN. I’m saving a shit load of money for maps that I paid in advanced and get cheaper.

Thomas April 20, 2012

You do realize cod elite premium gives you access to all the future dlc for free for MW3 and it’s alot cheaper than buying the map packs individually? You’re saving money by being a premium user. For example there is 4 map packs for Black Ops which are 14.99 on psn or 1500 MSP and so you’re essentially paying 60 dollars for all of them or 6000 MSP just to have all of them if you didn’t buy the hardened edition or whatever that special edition is called but paying 50 dollars for the free dlc + extra perks(i think are useless to me) is a pretty neat deal.

@Hydrexo the first map pack has like 4 MP maps and 2 spec ops map for 15 dollars that’s about 1, so that’s 6 DLC of the 20 load outs they’re delivering, so there’s really only to be about 3 more map packs with probably 3 MP maps and 2 spec ops maps or missions so it ends up at 20 exactly but like I said you’re essentially saving money in the long run being an elite premium

Whats the point of asking for all these demands when most likely they are already trying to fix them all or at least most of them. And about the fmg9′s and striker, i use both of these frequently and they all have their ups and downs but is it really worth complaining about it. If i could get any weapon to get upped with the power and add some proficiencies it would be the javelin.

Honestly, I wonder how these people who are going to be able to succeed in changing Activison’s mind to fix some problems. There is a total of about 900,000 people who go online and play modern warfare daily by United States and United Kingdom alone. Unless you can prove that nearly a million people who play the game will sudden agree and not play the game. Remember Activision has your money. The only power you have to not buy the maps nor the games ever again. Then again, a mutli-million dollar company is not going to lose a lot of money because one person refuses to play the game.
